Listener90345New audio is atrociousWhatever system you’re using now is picking up every blasted lipsmack etc. Super unprofessional. It’s driving me nuts. Content is great otherwise.

JT77JTLet her get a word in.I'm constantly frustrated listening to Christine try to get a word in and being cut off by the guys. I've been noticing it for a while, and today's episode had plenty of occurrences that reminded me to send in a review.

Yawbus61It used to be good…….but Matt Continetti has single-handedly ruined the podcast. He is simply incapable of shutting up. He takes up all the air and interrupts everyone. This has left Abe and Christine as essentially silent. Here’s a newsflash, Matt: you are not nearly as interesting as you think. And stop laughing at everything you say. It’s an incredibly irritating habit. Better yet - do us all a favor and just quit the podcast.

vessel10Ads in SpanishGet rid of ads in Spanish. This is America, and to have a united country, all foreigners need to assimilate and learn to speak English. That is our national language. Have we not learnt anything from Europe and their troubles that originate from parallel societies?! Forego the revenue from such ads, otherwise you are supporting such societal division.

UpstateNY14428John Podhoretz drones on and onHe rambles on far too much. Please collect your thoughts , learn to get to the point, and then speak. Let your co-hosts talk for once, and try being more measured in your delivery. You're tiresome to listen to. Just because daddy left you in charge doesn't mean you're cut out for the podcasting job.

Colline townMatt ContinettiI listen to this podcast regularly. It continues to be excellent, informative, and entertaining, and I appreciate it very much. But it seems that Matt Continetti is becoming the co-host, or even the lead host. He directs the conversation, his tone is that of the one who is the answerer for all questions, the teacher, and he usually talks too long, organizing the discussion and making interminable points. Is this just his style, or has John Podhoretz decided to share his position?

aboydjohnsonABJRarely miss an episode. Very good.

metsox45Great Pod“Trump himself is not horrified by the idea of a traditional republican foreign policy” - Seth “Trump doesn’t hate Mitch McConnell” - Seth Daily listener, I love you all, but I almost spit my coffee out at those lines. I understand wanting to be hopeful but come on.
-
RR8088Good showWish John and the guys would let Christine finish her points. She also has the best one liners. Funny lady.
-
Joe's ViewThe party of billionaires lolToday the whole panel assailed the Democratic Party as “the party of billionaires” Have they already forgotten the two men who were such major supporters of the Republican nominee, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos? I believe they are richer than any Democrat.

Mouths full of laughtetThe day post electionFinally!! All of y'all are finally articulating what all of us, the "low information voters" (such an offensive term from such a place of ivory tower arrogance) have been seeing and didn't need to opine about, daily.

Leon JoyeuxReflectionPeter Savodnik may have said it best: “They didn’t lose because they didn’t spend enough money. They didn’t lose because they failed to trot out enough celebrity influencers. They lost because they were consumed by their own self-flattery, their own sense of self-importance.”
-
Z71AnubisWorth your timeJohn, this is a smart informative POD cast. I’ve come to realize it’s the only one I wait for to be released each day. Keep up the good work.
-
Mr Fun 2I’ve moved onJohn Podhoretz TDS has finally gotten the best of me. The show has become misanthropic - they denigrate (hate) everyone. Started listening because of my interest/support of Israel. They seem to have a problem with IFF - Identification Friend or Foe.
-
PunkoMusicGreat!Great podcast. Im a daily listener. Although Seth & Christine often struggle to make a point concisely. They use 200 words, where 100 would suffice
-
M Ryan WDaily listenerI’ve been listening to this every day for about three years - it’s a great insight into a variety of political topics. However, lately I feel that someone needs to tell Matt this is not his daily show and to stop interrupting everyone else. Especially Christine and Abe.
-
Viridescent1Much neededThis is a well rounded group. They crack me up, but also get into the detail of heavy topics. I’m sad I haven’t discovered them sooner.
-
MQDeanAlways listen to every show but …… I have gotten to the point of skipping John P’s contributions and focusing on the other two or three. John P interrupts and takes center stage, when I think the others have more interesting points but are swatted down. Starting to drive me crazy so I skip forward until I hear the other voices. :(

:-)RedheadWow, such doom - everything falling apart!I think you overdid the nauseating doom response to your colleague’s admonishment,for recently appearing too trump friendly! Doom doom doom! I can hardly stand finishing this podcast! Get a hold of yourselves! The Left’s antisemitic, pro-war, pro-abortion, anti-science anti-woman trans activism, tear it all down fervor may well result in national chaos, no matter who wins. The Right will likely turn away from this election, be with their families, at their jobs, and attending religious services, in search of what is truly meaningful. Policy matters more than Politics

Fid 792 weeks to go2 weeks to go and they state Trump had a great fun weekend. The man ranted about the enemy within naming his political opponents suggesting he should use the military to thwart them and they don’t mention it. I don’t think these people actually care about our country. Partisan hacks
-
KjambeGreat podcastI really enjoy this podcast. It’s a great place to get informed opinion from the right. There’s always a fair degree of humor interjected into the content, which I really enjoy. A+
-
kdsj823The Best Daily Commentary on Everything!John Podhoretz, Abe, Christine, Matt, and Seth have been a daily ritual for me for years, but during this election season with so many others solely reporting their team’s talking points or collapsing into perpetual “I hate my enemy” screeds, this is always the place for unvarnished analysis, yes through a conservative Jewish lens, but accepting and acknowledging the positive and negative of all sides. So thoughtful and we’re all smarter for having listened.
-
Bondi98Let them goFrom your podcast today - it is Alan Dershowitz who came up with that. He has been saying it all year, that bring them home was wrong message for exact reasons you stated.
-
kathrynlwest123Everyday listenerI don’t get why there are so many reviews on here telling various members of the podcast to stop talking… you’re literally clicking on this podcast to listen to people talk for an hour. This is like attending a live concert and complaining that there is loud music playing. Anyway- you all are great. Don’t listen to the haters.
-
fan ldlTrashing Zibby Owens, really?!So John disparages Zibby Owens, who supports Jewish authors after they get review bombed on Goodreads because they are Jewish (Talia Carner - The Boy with the star tattoo), who’s publishing On Being Jewish Now to raise money to support antisemitism, who pulled her sponsorship from the National Book Awards as some authors were planning to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. An influential Jew who sticks up for Jews and he has a problem with her? Very nasty. And her podcast has about 10 times the number of sponsors that his does.

watchthethronemehNot religious but I love this show!If you may enjoy listening to a group of colleagues speak openly and critically across lines then this is the show. Smart, kind people thinking through the issues of the day. Very highly recommended. You don’t need to be religious to appreciate these great people’s insights. Anyone who enjoys a deeper dive into today’s issues should enjoy this. Conservative? Yes, however it’s all discussed in a spirit of openness and exploration. I listen to every episode. Thank you, guys!
-
GeoplanterVeep debateIt’s funny how John & company find it vexing that Harris is reluctant to do more interviews, but they are less bothered by Trump’s refusal to do another debate. It’s also odd how John & company were not particularly bothered by Vance’s reaction to the final question related to January 6th. If his reaction to this most important question is not disqualifying, what is? Who are the knuckleheads now?
-
Greta🍄SethHis voice sounds like he’s talking through a blow horn. I miss Noah.
-
Gretchen WillitsWhy?Why does it take so long for John to complete a sentence or make a point? It’s hard to listen to, waiting for him to stop talking.
-
HewhiteWhere’s Eli’s song?I listened to the end. I want Eli’s AI song. He could do one about the debate.
-
RelativelyJonesCould be so much betterThe podcast would be so much better if John would give at least half the airtime to the others rather than keeping 80% for himself. He is just too enamored with his long-winded and repetitive opinions.
-
Annonymous IICorrection to JohnJohn recommended “The Best Years of Our Lives”. I agree. Movie is fantastic. John, you incorrectly stated Frederick March went to the airplane graveyard. It was actually Dana Andrews, not March.
-
MBsciencegeekA Learner’s PlaygroundThis podcast is ideal for anyone striving to learn: world events, national news, societal trends and much more. And what sets this podcast apart from others of a similar genre are the 80s references, high caliber vocabulary and the valuable book and film recommendations from the last minutes of each episode. I am an avid Commentary Mag groupie and daily listener. Can’t get enough of the crushing morosity… but it’s worse than that! (Insider’s joke that you’ll have to listen to the podcast to appreciate.)

RokitanskyAschoffEvery day listenerI listen every day. Intelligent people discussing grave, important issues rationally and logically, and most importantly with humor in a world which is increasingly lacking all of those things. You will learn a lot.

RetarnationNot what it used to beWhy am I getting sleazy ads in Spanish every five minutes? Also, Seth needs to learn to stop interrupting and make a point with half the words. And poor Abe, always getting interrupted. The constant interruptions make it hard to listen to.
-
Joe-in--San-DiegoMark Halpiren (Again)Mark Hapiren did unspeakable things to people. Surprised you talk to him. When you all have him on, I will give an unfavorable review to this program. Every time. To everyone.
-
FastChicagoToo many ads..I have listened to your pod casts for about five years …most often on a daily basis… if the current level of advertising continues, I will no longer listen … I also subscrbe to Commentary … why drive readers alway with sleazy ads for lower class on line gambling?
-
WardsareusOnly one problem with this podcastMatthew Continetti. He’s smarmy and disingenuous in his argumentation. You can always tell when he’s doing this because he tries a silly half-laugh and raises his voice just short of a shout. “But wait John, [insert loud fake laugh] I’m…[insert pretend offence, even louder], because [insert false equivalency with Democrat/Leftist almost shouted]. It’s tiring and annoying.
-
GritKnitzA Good Listen…Most of the TimeI like this podcast until they get way too impressed with themselves and their intellects. Today they criticized Trump’s visit to Arlington Cemetery at the soldier’s families request. Maybe they should call Tom Cotton and get the truth about the Arlington rules. He was a member of the Old Guard and he has an entirely different take on the “altercation” incident.
-
AmRaymondPodcast endpointLove the podcast. One annoying technical aspect though is that it never ends when the time expires. Continues on for at least a minute or so. I know… picky, picky.
-
Janney USAMy favoriteEven though Commentary posts 5 days a week, I find myself checking early for their download. They are highly undisciplined, but that’s what makes it entertaining—not to mention informative—with plenty of TV, film, stage and literature metaphors. It’s obvious that John Podhoretz and his gang are having the time of their lives. Am I taking crazy pills?
-
DA DUDE IZ ME!I listen every day.I love these discussions and always feel smarter when I hear them. Today there was a slight error I wanted to correct for the record because we are being quite picky about military jargon in the Walz/Vance conversations. Someone said everyone is enlisted in the Marines, but this is not true. There are Marine officers- some directly out of Annapolis. (Picture Jack Nicholson saying “you can’t handle the truth!) You all teach me everyday, so I thought I might return the favor. I miss Christine and hope she returns soon. -a lapsed Catholic who recognizes the importance of Israel and its people to our world.

SteeevyoGreat for this election season!First of all what’s not to like when you can listen every weekday to some combative Jewish journalists discussing the most pressing issues? I started listening when crazy July 2024 kicked in and will stick with it at least until this election is finally over. These guys are conservatives but cover the whole spectrum of conservatism and don’t slide into undignified Trump worship (I will vote for Trump). John Podhoretz is a great surprise for me as I only recall finding him grating on Twitter a few years ago. He’s entertaining, argumentative and indeed “keeps the candle burning” Keep up the good work.

wargograwNot ConservativeIf you want neocon big government unipartyism, this is the place for you. Real conservatives, check out The American Conservative. By the way, could you guys turn the intro music up more? My ears aren’t getting completely blasted quite enough yet. I would like to be fully deaf before it’s over.
-
FloridaFilmGuyJPod just do it yourselfHe never lets anybody talk or finish. Not sure why he doesn’t just do the show himself.

Neil GussmanDemocrats Causes Trump ShootingWhen a registered Republican shooter from a household with 20 guns shoots the loser of the 2020 election and kills a firefighter you spend a whole show blaming democrats for political violence. It might have been 30 minutes into the show before you mentioned Trump and his calls for violence. No mention of the insurrection he fomented. Your comments would be embarrassing on a job app for comms at Mar-A-Lago.
